Wow Scully telling it like it is, nothing he said was wrong. The WBC has become a joke.

WBC trying anything to help clenelo duck Benavidez. Who knew

Can We Be Collectin be taken to court by Beterbievs team for creating an interim when one isn't wanted or needed diminishing they're status?

[JakeTheBoxer]

Beterbiev team is right. Why do we need interim champion when Beterbiev is active Wbc champion?

[Monty Fisto]

Scully is totally right. Sulaiman and the WBC are the pits, usually acting against the interest of boxing and its fans.

Wasnt the smith fight, that just fuhging happened, the wbc mando?

What possible justification is there for this fight, especially when 1 guy doesn't(but should) fight in the division? Complete and utter nonsense

[BigJmcgirt23]

While I feel that Benevidez is and should be fighting at light Heavyweight, he shouldn't pass any of the others in the weight class. It's literally the same thing that's going on in his division. I love the sweet science. I've been a boxing fan since I was 10 years old. And in the past 36 years of watching this sport it has gone downhill in a hurry. The current state of boxing has become so watered down it's pathetic.

Bumvidez trying to fight another light punching over the hill 36 year old and claim it’s for a championship.

Benavidez is already WBC interim "champion" at 168!
Morrell is WBA interim "champion" at 168.
Even though Alvarez is active.
It's obvious these "interim" titles are just a way of the sanctioning bodies extracting more fees.
